An Interesting Experiment.
The first nine families of Italian agricultural labourers have left Naples for the Italian possessions in Ahica, as colonists, conducted by Signor Fianchetti. Each family of emigrants will receive the gift of twenty acres of good ground, and be furnished in anticipation with all the necessaries belonging to its cultivation. Each family will have two roomy cottages in masonry, a couple of beeves, four cows, some sheep, goats, fowls, tools, provisions enough for a year, and other commodities. Their lives are also insured for five years, during which they will repay in natural produce what they have received in anticipation. By the end of seven years they will have paid all, and find themselves full proprietors of a farm of twenty wellcultivated acres. The snms acquired by the repayments from these families will be need to furnish new emigrant families with similar requirements.
